You’re also naked under your clothes
One little thing which blew my little mind is that our clothes do not touch our skin. They come close to, yet repelled by the surrounding electron clouds of what makes up our skin.
Because of an electromagnetic force electron clouds are hosts to and which make up our skin and our clothing, those and many things repel one another just enough that the two materials, the cloth and our skin, do not physically touch. Numerous nerve cell types give us the impression that cloth and skin are touching.
Quote
The combination of electromagnetic repulsion and quantum exclusion gives rise to what we experience as a solid surface. So, when you press your hand on a table or when something touches your skin, what’s actually happening is a balance of forces between your skin’s electrons and the other object’s electrons.
